Thanks tamara, susan and ann. Wow those are fantastic ideas, I'll have to look for that book, I had thought of doing something circut board esqe with a portrait but imagined it would be too busy or complex.

There's a very nice maze in Caire Burkhard's "50 New Bobbin Lace Patterns", which my own 'puter geek (son) likes, because it reminds him of the old electronic boards. I've promised him I'll make him one for his coffee table (to go under glass), though haven't yet; don't ever seem to have the time (shoemaker's children go barefoot, as the saying goes). The original is in white and grey but could be made in different colours and with more of them. It's a meandering tape kind of lace (lots of sewings), made with just 12 pairs (the tape goes in two directions, each tape uses 6 pairs) -- Tamara P Duvall http://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [email protected].
